Paul Kaiser's Blog

I wanted to thank those of you who came out to the Champaign Public Library tonight for my photo editing presentation. I hope you learned a few tricks and, at the very least, got a nice introduction to the power of Picnik.

Drop me a line

Finally, if you have any questions, please send me an email, or drop me a line using the “Contact” page under “About Paul.” I missed the opportunity to perhaps build a web group for us to help each other with future questions, but I’d love the chance to keep in touch.

This Thursday I’ll give a presentation on WordPress to folks at the University of Illinois’ Webmasters Forum. It should be a lot of fun.

I’ll basically explain why WordPress is a great option for small- to medium-sized groups to run their website. There should be lots to learn Thursday. Peter Morville presents the keynote.

I’ll update this post Friday or Saturday with the actual presentation and notes on how I felt about the event.

Update, May 8:

The Webmasters Forum was a good event. I enjoyed other presentations, and my presentation went well. I think eye contact was an issue for me — it often is. Have to work on that. My session was packed, and there were lots of intelligent questions by folks at the end.

Here’s a PDF of the outline I used for the presentation. The only thing I showed were the images — I don’t do boring slideshows, but prefer to show images that might be memorable or illustrative. I also don’t memorize what to say — I make sure I know the points in my outlines and then I wing it.
